On the cover Hidden Treasures, a cherished exhibit
Lilo Lang Waxman (July 25, 1920 - November 23, 2018) was born to a Jewish family in Germany. Her great-grandmother was the first to own a collection of miniatures and room boxes that grew to occupy a central place in the lives of six generations. The children traditionally set up the various rooms and tiny furnishings for Chanukah. With Nazism advancing, the family fled and the miniatures went into “hiding.” Lilo and her immediate family found safe harbor with relatives in New Mexico. After the war, the treasures were returned to Lilo, and now are on exhibit in the museum where you can see the complete collection and learn more of Lilo’s story.
